Grazie al visionario quadro The Sugar Shack del pittore statunitense Ernie Barnes, la copertina di I Want You è una rigogliosa foresta di simboli jazzistici intimamente connessi allo spirito, l'immaginario, l'anima della comunità afroamericana degli Stati Uniti. Ultimo tra i capolavori di Marvin Gaye ...

By the time of Gaye's tragic death in ...
